Riley might have duped his way onto Radio Clyde last night but not many listeners were convinced that he was a Celtic fan.
It did make for the perfect start to the Super Scoreboard phone-in with plenty of follow up calls referencing Riley with a few questioning his credentials.
Apparently Riley and his Dad decided at half time to head for home, beat the traffic and call up Radio Clyde rather than sit in their seats for 45 more minutes. Riley and his Dad are Season Ticket holders, probably paying in at least £1,200 for the privilege of getting bored on a Saturday afternoon.
Later on during the call Gordon Dalziel sussed out that Riley wasn’t the real deal, a couple of questions from Mark Wilson had the caller flapping for answers.
The phone in is the most popular and celebrated part of Radio Clyde but it is as genuine as a message board or social media as unknown individuals take on new identities for whatever reason.
Last Monday during another wind-up one Ibrox fan referenced how his mate Shug won’t leave the house these days but that they had been going to matches since they were ‘wee bears’.

Some classics from Riley:
It is getting a bit boring now watching Scottish football as a Celtic fan.
Ross County at Dingwall dominated Celtic till the last minute of the match where Celtic struggled to get the win.
With this moment in time with Celtic in Scotland I don’t see that (enjoyment)
Gordon Dalziel: I want to see your Season Ticket, I’m not having Riley
Most Celtic fans are having the time of their life this season, alongside devastating football they are watching their team being credible in European football.
It is more than a decade since Celtic won two matches in the same Champions League campaign, when Neil Lennon’s side was achieving that in 2012 they were also losing at home to Kilmarnock and drawing at home to Arbroath in the Scottish Cup.
Riley probably found those days more exciting than the present.
After 13 matches this season Celtic have picked up 37 points with a goal difference of 40-4. In only two matches have the champions lost a goal in open play, at home in the Champions League they have taken seven points from nine with nine goals scored and three conceded.
The lists and records go on and on, yesterday’s win took in to 22 consecutive league matches scoring two goals or more, an all time club record.
In 14 days time Celtic could go past the combined trophy count of both Ibrox clubs although only an idiot or someone with a surname for their first name would equate the 1972 Cup Winners Cup with the 1967 European Cup.
If the SPFL title is won Celtic will start next season as favourites to be champions of Scotland for a 56th time. Some friends of Riley will be dreading that prospect.
By the looks of it Riley and his Dad are in for some very boring times in the coming weeks and months.
If this is all genuine then what an embarrassment this “supporter” is.If you can’t enjoy watching someone like Luke McCowan today not sure CP is the place for you on a Saturday afternoon.

How any Celtic supporter can say they do not enjoy Celtic scoring goals and dominating Scottish football is beyond belief the guy is an imposter and quite clearly not a real Celtic supporter probably wasn’t even at the game today.

If you notice my surname is also a first name, so not all of us thank you, or am I reading it wrong, HH

Riley you are not a Celtic fan. I still love that you made an arse of yourself on radio though. Keep those Hun tears flowing.
